An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM card that’s built directly into a device, like a smartphone. In contrast, a physical SIM card is a removable chip that you insert into your device to connect to a cellular network.
The key difference? With an eSIM, there’s no physical card to deal with. You can activate a cellular plan without needing to swap out a SIM card. This means no more fumbling with tiny cards when changing carriers or plans. Plus, eSIMs offer more flexibility, allowing you to switch carriers and plans remotely.
